With the New Year upon us, we have all made resolutions to
eat better, go to the gym, spend more time with family and take time for
ourselves. Well what about taking time
to take care of your skin? Have you ever
considered doing noninvasive procedures for your face such as Botox or
Restylane? Worried you might look like
the Botox babe above? Rest assured, when
Cosmetic injections are preformed correctly they can give a person a rested
refreshed look. Below are a few common
myths about Botox Cosmetic treatments that you may put your mind at ease.
1.
Botox and Fillers do the same
thing. False.
Botox injections help to relax muscles and
prevent fine lines from getting deeper.
Fillers as the name implies help to fill and add volume to help soften
and remove fine lines.
2.
I won’t have any facial expression if
I do Botox. False.
If done by a trained professional and in
moderation, Botox treatments will give your face a natural relaxed look. You will still be able to make all of your
facial movements and emotions.
3.
Botox and Filler injections are very
painful. False.
Botox injections do involve needles;
however a topical anesthetic can be applied prior to treatment to minimize
discomfort. Many women and men go back
to work after having the procedure done.
Most cosmetic fillers come with numbing medication mixed with it to also
minimize any pain.
4.
Botox and Filler injections require
maintenance. True.
Botox generally lasts 3-4 months and will
require maintenance treatment. If you do
not maintain your treatments, your natural fine lines will go back to
baseline. Fillers can last anywhere from
6 months to a year depending on the type of filler used.
5.
Botox and Filler treatments are too
expensive for me. False
